Current Events > So... Lynel and Shock Arrows... Breath of the Wild. SPOILERS

(+) Yeah! (+)

So... Im playing through Breath of the Wild for the first time. I got to Zoras Domain and now I need to approach a Lynel and grab 20 Shock arrows. I see a few laying around randomly but not enough to get at least 20. So I engage him thinking he will shoot arrows at me I can pick up... He just goes full close quarters though with melee weapons.

Its a tough fight for me but I think I can beat him with practice. However.... If he isnt shooting arrows, how am I suppose to get 20 from him? I doubt a bunch of arrows will drop if I kill him.

Also, isnt there a system in place where if I dodge an incoming attack, time slows down and I can rapidly land multiple hits on a target? That didnt seem to be working with him. I dont know if its because Im doing it wrong or he is... immune? to that kind of thing? I guess?

They're laying around; you're better off not engaging with the lynel.

Pretty sure there are more than 20 arrows lying around you can pick up, just keep sneaking around

Use magnesis to see arrows in the ground

This topic makes me smile. Because its where Im stuck at in BOTW.

Thats a good idea. I also just thought about using Stasis+ to freeze him and attack him. I just got it and thats what the description says I can do but I dont know how good it is yet

It freezes Lynel's for like half a second, just good enough to interrupt their current attack. I probably wouldn't engage him unless this is like your last Divine Beast, he will wreck you.

you can climb the mountain further past him you know

You're better of learning how to perfect dodge and parry it's attacks. You'll be fighting more and stronger Lynels throughout the game.

If it gets stunned, you can mount him and attack a few times. Immediately after it throws you off, aim your bow so you're in slow mo and depending on your stamina you can land a decent number of headshots.

No. Thats some bullshit. This is actually a very good time to get better at the game. Its an isolated fight and you can learn a lot by trying to kill the lynel. Try firing arrows at him, shoot him in the face some. Learn the timing for dodging. You can also parry attacks and get openings. You will get good rewards, too.

Meh, its a lot more fun when you have better gear and you don't get one-shotted if you make a mistake, and you can actually kill the thing without breaking every single one of your weapons

I got 4 hearts and I dont get 1 shotted. I drop down to 1/4th of a heart

I did this my first play through. I was getting pissed but I eventually killed him. Then next thing you know I'm destroying them on that one side of the map where there's like 3 in a row near a maze.
